what does a hydrogen bond do?

Answer 1

Gets hydrogen out of jail.

Answer 2

Hydrogen bonds perform several different functions and are found various places.

Some examples include:

Oxygen and Hydrogen molecules are bonded by hydrogen bonds which allow for the formation of water molecules. This also provides the different properties of water, such as

1. polarity
2. cohesion
3. adhesion
4. density, example: ice floats on water
5. heat of vaporization
6. high specific heat

These help moderate the climate and provide an environment that allows life to exist.

They can also be found in protein structures. Hydrogen bonds are found in secondary and tertiary structures and are part of the factors that form the shape of the peptide chains.

Answer 3

In chemistry, a hydrogen bond is a type of attractive intermolecular force that exists between two partial electric charges of opposite polarity. Although stronger than most other intermolecular forces, the typical hydrogen bond is much weaker than both the ionic bond and the covalent bond. Within macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, it can exist between two parts of the same molecule, and figures as an important constraint on such molecules' overall shape.

Answer 4

For example, there are hydrogen bonds in water....that's how that lizard runs on the water....it's light enough that it won't break the hydrogen bonds and can stay afloat.

Sorry this is all i got.

Answer 5

Any ion or molecule that is negatively charged.
